Full of joy, Simon is miraculously healed as he follows after, leaving his staff behind. Suddenly, the shepherds hear the angelic announcement of the birth of the Lamb of God, and they immediately head to Bethlehem. That evening, due to the situation earlier, Simon is forced to eat alone, far from his fellow shepherds. On his way home, Simon meets a couple from Nazareth, a pregnant Mary and her husband Joseph, and Simon offers a drink of water for them. Then, Simon hears a reading of Isaiah from a nearby synagogue and goes in, only to be expelled. The priest rejects it, demanding a perfect and spotless lamb.

While Simon asks a Pharisee about the coming Messiah, the lamb he brings is discovered to have a blemish. On the outskirts of Bethlehem, Simon, a crippled shepherd, goes to town and brings a lamb for sacrifice. The prophecies whispered of a coming Messiah who would save God's people. Suffering heavy taxation, the Hebrew people prayed for relief from the Roman occupation, and priests repeatedly read the old prophecies aloud in synagogues. When Augustus Caesar became the emperor of Rome, the prophets of Israel had been silent for 400 years.

I would encourage you to start with Episode 01 – I Have Called You By Name. You do not need to start with the Shepherd episode. There you will also find Scriptual references for each episode. It is more reflective and will help you think about different parts of the episode and how it relates to you and your faith. There is a second discussion guide attached that is useful after you have watched the episode. This guide is crafted so it doesn’t give anything away as you watch. There are several questions to think about as you watch, details to consider and to take note of. It is meant to guide you through the episode giving titles for each scene as the episode progresses. There are 2 different discussion guides in each lesson. Study guides for each episode can be found below.
